It's a language barrier and social barrier that's rough enough to work through without the added ick of religious platitudes. Whether you have it, know someone who does, or are just interested in knowing more, all are welcome!

"I noticed it"s been a while since we've had any activity up here. I'm a mother of a 31 month old with autism. I recently ended the therapy provided to us by the state. We've been so much happier and so has my son. He's…"

"Atheist Pagan best describes me.
Notice that the older the religion, the less superstitious and authoritarian it becomes?

"Btw I've never been diagnosed with Aspergers, though I did score a 41 on Baron-Cohen's AQ test, and I think the Scientific American article I linked to below succinctly sums up my experience feeling intellectually alienated from the…"

Just now, sitting in a grocery store deli, woman reads my Magellan t-shirt ("The Church says the Earth is flat but I know it is round for I have seen the shadow on the moon, and I have more faith in a shadow than in the Church"). The woman strikes me as submissive, mousey, dependent.

As most are aware, Arizona recently passed a demand-to-see-your-papers law: Anyone who 'looks' like they could be an illegal immigrant can be stopped on that suspicion alone and must provide proof of citizenship or legal residency. If you don't have such proof on you, even if you are a legal resident, you can be jailed up to 6 months just for not having the proper paperwork on your person.

One would think that the freedom-loving, privacy-loving, constitution-is-sacred,…

First you have the whole concept of modern-day Tea Parties, whose only vague resemblance to the original is when someone gets the period costume right. If you know nothing else about the Boston Tea Party, every American from age 7 onwards can chant the phrase: "Taxation without representation."

Today's Tea Partiers A) Are protesting the whole concept of paying taxes period. Because taking from the community without contributing back is…

Posting this to my Facebook Page, where I actually do have a Conservative Christian friend or three:

"If moderate Muslims are so against what the extremists are doing, feel the extremists don't represent 'real Islam,' then where is their outrage? Why don't we hear from them? Why aren't they marching in the streets to protest the extremists and proclaim, 'They do not speak for us?'"

Especially since I myself am currently quasi-homeless. Although, living out of a tiny RV where ever I'm parked today, without electricity, I somehow still manage to keep reasonably clean (I've got hobo-bath down to a science) and not drunk 24/7.

Unlike the guy who has spent the last several minutes trying to sit next to me and bum money off of me. And I think pick me up.

Hey, i know this is a bit forward since you don't know me, but I commented on your Pagan-atheist discussion and I just wondered if you'd be willing to share any of the other pagan-related practises you get up to as a fellow hybrid.

(When I first got into scientific-paganism I truly thought I was the only one, even though i scoured the web, and I kind of ran into a dead end because of it). I know it's personal to everybody, but your "force field to protect from my sister's idiocy" really sparked my interest again and inspired me to start creating "spells" for myself.

So, no pressure, but I just wondered if you'd be willing to mention any other things you came up with.

Thanks, feeling much better, a shot of vodka did the trick lol. And no, i knew your intentions was good, this is a community based site that enables us to interact with people of interest, i would love to give back.
